This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

Fabulous drummer, Carlos Vega was born on December 7th, 1957. He had a very prolific career, both studio and live, and it´s difficult to trace their live lineups, so I´ve just included the few ones I know, and also trying to compile an accurate discography, which is quite difficult to do.

Carlos sadly passed away on April 7th, 1998. He will be very missed.

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN BAND

From August to October 1982, Olivia Newton-John performed her Physical Tour, with a band full of superb fusion musicians, led by Tom Scott (who also acted as opening band during the tour):

Comments: Compilation with tracks from his own albums, plus tracks from his bands Doobie Brothers and The New York Rock And Soul Revue, as well as collaborations in albums by James Ingram, Patti LaBelle, David Pack, Aretha Franklin, or the soundtrack Running scared, plus 2 unreleased tracks.

Other info on members of Michael McDonald Band (I know up to 24 members)

Comments: Compilation of different duets by Linda Ronstadt with friends such as James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Don Henley, Bette Midler, Aaron Neville, J D Souther, Ann Savoy and others. It includes an unreleased track, a cappella duet with veteran bluegrass artist Laurie Lewis. Some of the songs didn´t appear in Linda´s own albums, but on tributes or other artists´ albums.

My opinion: Delicious compilation. I wish it would contain more songs (50 minutes is too short, I never get enough of Linda...).

Hi, Malcolm, and thanks for posting. I´m glad you like it. I only wish I had more time to dedicate to update my pages. But, here you have an update for Carlos Vega: 30 more albums, some more live band lineups, and a newly formatted discography list. Hope you'll like the new approach too. :)
